End of Tour

Well the end of the tour has come.  I'm sorry I didn't have any posting to do during the 6 days of our final leg.  Our internet problems continued and worsened, to the point that there really wasn't any convenient time to sit and relax with internet access that might have lent itself to blogging.  On top of that, there wasn't really anything spectacular to blog about.  It was kind of same-old-same-old.  We came, we saw, we did shows.  We finally got to perform The Spy a bit, between the end of the New York run and the final leg, we actually did more Spy than Henry.  It finally started to evolve into something as natural as it had been when we rehearsed it in New York way back in November/December.  It was kind of sad to see it finally coming together too late, and to get a hint of the potential it might have had if not for all the misfortunes that befell it (and the fact that most of America's presenters apparently had no interest in booking it).

Overall the tour turned out pretty well after its rough start.  There's a lot I think we can do better next year if we build on what we learned this year, and I hope to be a part of that.  Romeo and Juliet and a workshop of a new adaptation of Alice in Wonderland are on the agenda for next season.

I think this concludes the Tour Mini-Blog, I hope you had fun reading of my adventures this season.  I'd like to give one final plug to my Flickr photostream, over yonder on the right sidebar.  It contains almost daily photos from life on the road, along with some pretty detailed descriptions, and it covers some aspects of the tour I didn't blog about (and certainly was too lazy to post photos of in the blog).
